Adaptive Transportation

Adaptive Transportation Services began in the fall of 1971 as a service for UW-Whitewater students with mobility impairments. The service is provided through the university as a fee based service. Students who are consumers of vocational rehabilitation services may request assistance with funding the cost of this service as part of their plan for employment. Students who do not have third-party funding will be required to pay for the service in full. The primary goal of Adaptive Transportation services is to provide safe and efficient service to our student riders. We offer both academic and non-academic services with a variety of scheduling options.

2.) Upon eligibility determination, riders will fill out a contract with the Transportation Coordinator.

3.) It's the riders' responsibility to make arrangements with his or her funding agency ( if applicable) about using and pay for transportation semester.
